Tutorial Three: Blogging Part One

Blogging! Its hip and it's trendy.. and available to a variety of people worldwide!

So, what is a blog?

A blog is a kind of personal diary where you can share your thoughts, experiences and be free to express yourself through all kinds of media e.g. Links to movies and images.

Since Blogger was launched in 1999, blogs have been used to reshape the web, impact politics, they have shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.

How do you set up a Blog, on Blogger.com you may ask?

To get started with Blogger, visit the Blogger homepage, enter your username and password, and click Sign in. Enter a display name and accept Blogger's Terms of Service. Then click the Create a Blog link and get started!
Pick a name and address (URL) for your blog. Then, choose your favorite template (this is how your blog will look when you publish it). Now get creative, add information to your personal profile, and customize how your blog looks, if you feel up to it.

You can also add videos and images to your blog, and customize your layout to make it super cool!

If you are feeling kinda lonely, you can make virtual friends or use it as a way to communicate with your family and friends.

Its important that you keep yourself safe, so make sure you check out the privacy settings on your blog!!

Hope you have a great time setting up your individual blog..and remember blogging is the way of the future!!
